What we’re about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNEqPQeszpY
I started this group back in August 2009 to get people to do adventures and outdoor activities with me. I guess we are all craving fun and adventure because the group took off like a rocket!!
Today we have an amazing team or organizers, and more and more people keep joining us to do more and more fun stuff. Everywhere I go I see great people meeting and making friends with great people.
We also do trips: international travel and local travel. If you are interested in group travel and finding traveling friends to have fun all over the world, you have found your group! We do amazing off the beaten path trips and adventure trips, and sometimes even some relaxing "drinking margaritas on the beach" type trips too.
So let's keep on having fun, let's see where it takes us, and let's see how much fun we can handle!!!
Here are some of the things we have done and will do. Let me know if you are itching to do anything here (or not here) and we’ll make it happen:
Bungee jumping

Hot air balloon
Hikes
Rock Climbing

** WE HAVE LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE SO SIGN UP ASAP TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A SPOT **
* The event host will group you off into teams and you'll be playing as a team against the other groups.
